" Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?" [the bible Luke13:4 KJV] TRAGEDY struck yesterday following the collapse of a part of a multiple story building inside the premises of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, SCOAN, leaving many worshipers dead, while others were critically injured Read more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/09/tragedy-scores-die-synagogue-church-building-collapses/ The collapse of mighty and gargantuan structures have always been recorded in every century, right from the time of Jesus Christ, our lord and savior, just like the tower in Siloam quoted above. When the twin tower came down many of us saw it in our living room , watching a recorded clip. We saw with horror, the twin buildings coming down one after the other with great billows of smoke and dusks. But the difference between the two above men...

For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty".[1timothy2:2, the bible] It happened so quickly before I could catch my breath; the scene was nothing , but goring, blood letting and lastly the ominous sound of bones as they break and the falling of another human life, never to rise again. one more gone, one more felled by the hands of many, but with no real one in charge of the execution without trial. they call it jungle justice, whose jungle? spare me that it is nothing ,but wickedness in the hands of a mob with varying motives: some want to indulge their delight in killing a human like themselves, without paying any price or being held accountable, some wants to get their pleasure from the cries of these men as they go down the painful way to their death, no one listening to their cries of innocence, yet other wants to see the dangling private parts, hitherto covered now being expose to all...

'The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? [the holy bible, Jeremiah 17:9] The above biblical quotation best sum up the degenerated state of man. It is so bad that even we can not vouch for ourselves in terms of righteousness and truth. Take this scenario: they have given me a ministerial gift. Healing; remember, it is not because I am better placed than others, neither is it because i have seen God face to face and therefore can challenge Moses to tell me the features of God while i wait to argue and doubt his own version, no, it is just the gift of God. This is made clearer in Paul's letter to the Corinthians[1corintians12:1-9] But if after i had performed a healing which, of course, is under the unction of the holy spirit do i allow God to get the glory ? Do i direct all the accolades to God? It is easy to say yes, but remember the opening verse of this post. The heart can do things which we ourselves never thought we can do. Do i...

I shall underrate your awareness if i say you do not know that Easter and its surrounding festivities was was originally a pagan festival with offerings done to 'Esotre',a god,commonly worshiped by the heathens in those days.But to the few who might feign ignorance, here is a summary: this festival coincides with the Passover celebration in Jesus' time. Therein lies the reason why they did not conspicuously mention it in the bible except for once in the book of Acts12:4. But the reason for this posting is to explain without giving you a long sermon the significance of the resurrection of the Jesus,  Christ. Might shock some if i say that the celebration of the resurrection of the lord Jesus Christ is more important than his birth and the attended christian festivities and commercialization by the shrewd business world Reason 1 If Jesus was not raised or did not resurrect from the dead, The christian faith ,life style and would have been in vain and just another fail...

There are two important events worthy of note during this Easter celebration. One is the last supper And of course, the resurrection of the lord Jesus Christ. There is no gain going over the obvious fact that it is the death and the resurrection of the lord Jesus Christ that gave credence to his divinity. In as much as am not a one-way train nor has my faculties be subverted by dangerous indoctrinations i still have to postulate the truth so far: that amongst all founders of religious movement no one has display knowledge, [see sermon on the mount] commonly seen as words etch in gold and truth of all time, the lord's prayer, replete with love for God and our personal responsibility to forgive others pointing out that our ability to forgive and the measure we will forgive is commensurate to the measure God will forgive us, too. His good works, while he strutted this sinful world, is second to none of other religious movement. his compassion and moving parable even daring to use a ...

God knows about your possibilities. God knows your limitation. God knows your needs. To mark the 4th anniversary of Covenant of grace international ministry a three weeks program stretching through 24th febraury2013 was kicked off today. Our guest speaker,pastor Solomon Amalawa took us through the bible reminding us and revealing to us the love of God and that God knows us than we do ourselves. he enjoined us to cast our cares in the hands of the Lord. He revealed that as Christian we need favor rather than our strength, favor rather than our connection to move up and be what God wants us to be.He referred us to the book of Luke2:52,psalms139:6,1corinthians10:13, isam2:9 and Ecclesiastes9:11. Program continue with another speaker, pastor Mark billed for next Sunday. MARANATHA!

Genesis49:22 'Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall'. Before this announcement as it were might sound shocking to a layman who neither know what it is to be a christian, nor to become born again their father Jacob, started off perhaps after a grand breakfast or a delicious supper. Could not have been lunch, because the boys will be in the fields as usual; asking them to hurry home and gather only to tell them what will befall them would have be the height of recklessness, even prophets retain the discretion of delivering messages that sound judgmental to men . How about some one calling you only to tell you he has news for you, only to tell you what will befall you? well, Jacob did not see anything wrong in this either. Now, there is something i do not want you to miss in all these. if you think deeply and meditatively, Jacob words mean he has programmed their individual life to go a certain way! no working from dusk ...
